Enough people asked me about my trip to NYC that I felt a report was in order. Rather than try to write it up in an essay, I thought I’d share a bit of my travel companion – my Moleskine Japanese Album. [Read more...] I was treated to a graffiti tour of Paris, culminating in seeing a piece come to life under Sid’s spray cans. The adventure was great fun. I captured a lot of footage and interviews; it was a great challenge to edit it down. Enjoy! [Read more...] Well, we’ve tipped over into December and my duty to make some art every day is officially over. I did complete a daily creative act – mainly scribblings and jibblings in my Moleskine accordion notebook. I will not stop because November has passed. I find this the best way to pass time otherwise spent sighing [Read more...] I’m not very pleased with this week’s output, but I’ve learned to not listen too much to my discontentment.

I’ll post the week’s adventures once per week, since the processing and posting of the art is a whole project [Read more...] This set of haiku was done on the all-important last page of the front side. It’s always visible when you open your journal. Also shown is the back envelope, which I decorated with the woman from my Curious Excursion postcard. Hurricane on way distant hills disappear enshrouded in grey. ** Urgent, speedy winds snap [Read more...] Wild seaweed salad arrayed on Galway bay beach texture, color feast. Irish sea harvest Shiny burgundy bark like fine Irish leather magic tree transforming. Six branches emerge each wooden pillar is own family of tree.
Red-barked trees lean away form sacred grove in forest ancient wood haven. |
